Sioux Falls Seminary will graduate its 151st class at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday, May 23, at Central Baptist Church located at 3100 W. Ralph Rogers Road.

The seminary, which relocated from Rochester, New York, to Sioux Falls in 1949, will confer the following degrees to the Class of 2009: Doctor of Ministry, Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, Master of Arts in Counseling, Master of Arts (Bible and Theology), and Graduate Certificate in Theological Studies.

Saturday's service will include a full academic procession by the seminary's faculty and administration. Dr. Roger L. Fredrikson, Sioux Falls Seminary Adjunct Professor and Pastor Emeritus at First Baptist Church in Sioux Falls, will deliver the commencement address titled "The Final Exam Question."

"In hard times, it is especially important that the church has ministers who are sensitive to human need. In confusing times, the church desperately needs ministers who know what they believe," said Dr. Ronald Sisk, Academic Vice President and Dean. "The pastors, counselors, and scholars of the Class of 2009 are women and men who will bring honor to the church."
